Developer Platform

Enabled hundreds of thousands of developers worldwide to comply with platform policy—reducing legal risk and preventing multi-billion dollar penalties.

Context

Meta’s developer ecosystem depends on third-party developers operating within strict data use policies. Following regulatory scrutiny and requirements from the FTC, the company needed a scalable way to ensure compliance across a global developer base.

The Challenge
Design a system that enables hundreds of thousands of developers and businesses to:

  • Understand complex policy requirements

  • Take the correct actions within strict deadlines

  • Avoid breaking their integrations or businesses

Failure to complete required steps would result in loss of platform access—creating significant risk for both developers and Meta.

Approach

Led a multidisciplinary design effort across the developer platform, spanning external and internal tools.

  • Translated complex legal and regulatory requirements into clear, actionable experiences

  • Partnered with FTC assessors, legal, product, and engineering to define requirements

  • Designed end-to-end flows: requirement communication, multi-step workflows, internal review tools, and developer notifications

  • Ensured clarity at every step—guiding developers through high-stakes actions with minimal ambiguity

  • Built for global scale, accounting for diverse developer needs and contexts

Outcome

  • Enabled hundreds of thousands of developers globally to successfully complete compliance requirements

  • Prevented disruption to developer businesses by ensuring accurate, timely completion

  • Established a scalable system for ongoing policy compliance

  • Reduced significant legal and financial risk, helping avoid multi-billion dollar penalties

My Role

  • Design lead for Meta’s developer platform experience

  • Led multidisciplinary teams across product design, content, and systems

  • Drove alignment across legal, regulatory, product, and engineering partners
